Salon, the highly democratic/liberal news site ran a personals service in which you paid for credits at roughly $1 each and you could contact a person for 1 credit. The site featured full search, etc. Recently they sold out to friendfinder.com and totally changed the service. It took them weeks to get the pts from… Continue reading Salon Personals refunds fee

Save Angela’s Ass
A friend asked me to post about Saving Angela’s Ass and while I have not researched it, I can be empathetic to insurance co issues, so take a gander if you like and decide if you’d like to support this person.
Thoughts for those in the south
I have many special friends in the south and some who are displaced, maybe permanently due to Katrina. To dee and sass, I hear you are well and my deepest concern and thoughts as you collect your lives. I was so happy to hear from Ryan after four days of no power. He lives in… Continue reading Thoughts for those in the south
Howdy!
Well has certainly been a busy summer. I was in Minnesota 2 weeks ago, then I drove to Wisconsin for a date and to see the countryside. I didn’t experience any of that midwest weather people complain about and saw my grandparent’s stomping grounds. Was a total blast. This past weekend, I went to see… Continue reading Howdy!

I’m home! Expensive week!
Well am home from a week in L.A. for work. Am headed to Minnesota Wed, then Wisconsin to visit a friend. I learned it is crazy expensive to rent a car one way ($123/day) I went to see my Ophthalmologist today to check my right eye, since I bumped my head, and the eye has… Continue reading I’m home! Expensive week!
Long week!
It was a successful week of meetings in L.A. Now I can hang in the ocean breeze for two more days before heading home to what i hear is horribly hot Portland, then head out to Minnesota for the last half of next week. I am pooped 🙂 I took Tim (associate) to Disneyland last… Continue reading Long week!
People in this country are insane!
Alright so the bruhaha over Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas having sex in it, which has to be unlocked, has hit new lows. This article talks about the 85 year old grandma who is suing over the sex, since she bought the game for her 14 year old grandson. The game has violence, decapitation, cop… Continue reading People in this country are insane!
Ouchie Brakes
So my rear brakes have been howling after they heat up and only after a dead stop. This happened 2 years ago and Ford just adjusted a few things. Started again, so took it into Meineke this time. $635. Ouch. But rotored discs, new calipers, new pads. Seems they had been rubbing and melting a… Continue reading Ouchie Brakes

What a week – Apple, Intel, life
So this week was full of stuff. Apple switching to Intel Pentiums, I’ve kept up my hiking (don’t expect to see any results for several months) and in general, all things still moving forward in a positive karmatic direction. So what do I think about this Macintel thing? This has to be good for Apple.… Continue reading What a week – Apple, Intel, life
What a grand week!
So my 39th birthday came and went. I ended up alone, as my dinner plans fell through, but I had a headache from hell as well, so that was all good. Papa Murphy’s pizza, a nap, and even my Dad called, so was all good 🙂 Thursday I went to dinner with Jeanne and had… Continue reading What a grand week!
Spotlight saves iCal’s day
I had noticed that most of my Home calendar, including birthdays and anniversaries, was empty on both machines I .Mac sync. No idea why, but the data was gone. So I decided from now on I’d put birthdays into address book and use a birthday tool to create a calendar from it. I could not… Continue reading Spotlight saves iCal’s day

Tony the Tiger? That was Ravenscroft. Disneyland? Too many voices to mention, but Pirates of the Caribbean, the… Continue reading He was grrrrrrrrrrreat!
Beauty and Love starts within
I often wax poetic about my love life, the women that have been in my life, my inability to be very intimate, but at the same time be very passionate. My close friends tell me I am very intimate, very handsome, thing too much, all that stuff but I think, for me, until I look… Continue reading Beauty and Love starts within
Republicans change ethic rules to save Delay
How bad can this party get? The Republicans just changed the ethics rules again to allow any party to stalemate any ethics investigations. Hmm, interesting, no?
Improper tire pressure
I love living in America. Only here will they run a news story about tire PSI and how improper PSI causes 660 deaths a year. And I quote: “And if that is not enough motivation for you, proper PSI can save you money on mileage, too” Sheesh, so embarrassing. If that is not enough motivation… Continue reading Improper tire pressure
Pope Benedict comes out of the gate with a bang
